Reaction To Top 100 Canadian Rock Songs EVER 

The fact that The Tragically Hip, April Wine, Sloan, I Mother Earth, The Tea Party, Big Wreck, Our Lady Peace,The Trews, Big Sugar wasn't on this list is a tragedy.

Canada has a lot of rock bands. I felt this video didn't really do us justice. This was basically the same 5 bands.

I think this is Canadian music recognized worldwide, but doesn't scratch the surface of Canadian talent. Triumph, April Wine, Loverboy, Chilliwack, Prism, Trooper, Max Webster & Kim Mitchell, Blue Rodeo, Colin James, Tragically Hip, Burton Cummings solo work is fantastic....one of my favourite Canadian singers right now is City and Colour (aka Dallas Green) & his former band Alixisonfire, also some newer bands like Dear Rouge, The Beaches.

This list would look so much different if it were the most popular rock songs in Canada instead of worldwide. It was mostly the greatest hits of the five most internationally known Canadian Rockstars. The list would definitely have more rush and the hip in it if it otherwise.

This was so limited. Perhaps spotify is not the best resource. There is so much music from Canada. So much talent. Plus, I found this was quite generational, and barely touched on our history of great rock and roll.

Wait... no Trooper!?!?!?! Just look up Raise A Little Hell. Please.

I think this list proves why I don't use Spotify. I can see why you would think this is a great source, but it's missing majority of our rock music. Tragically Hip is iconic and is so much part of our cultural identity. Their absence is like saying Canada without hockey or maple syrup. This is coming from a person who isn't even that big a fan. My go to rock band was Our Lady Peace and Tea Party. There's also Edwin, who was originally part of I Mother Earth. There's so many others we could write an essay. I felt like throwing something at the tv with all the Nickelback.

It's an absolute crime that none of Triumph's hits made this list. One of the greatest Canadian Rock bands of all time! Check out their performance of "Lay it on the Line" at the US Festival in 1983. No April Wine either, another great hard rock Canadian band of the 70's & early 80's, from Montreal. Disgraceful!

Most proud Of 🤘RUSH🤘Best band ever. Smiles 😃 from 🇨🇦

couldn't get through the 70's without knowing the lyrics to every The Guess Who song

Bryan Adams is amazing. Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman of the Guess Who was only mentioned for American Woman and BTO's hits. They did a ton of amazing work.

A Scotsman, living in Malaysia, doing a series of videos where he discovers Canada….I am loving this! ❤️🇨🇦

This is a list compiled of a lot of newer music and many of my favorites weren't making the list. Tragically Hip, Chilliwack, Honeymoon Suite, April Wine, Michael Pagliaro, Gino Vinelli, Paul Anka, just to name a few.

Hardly even scratches the surface. Really surprised not to see any Tragically Hip, 54-40 or April Wine as well as others on the list.

The song American Woman was written by Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman but was originally conceived live on stage while on tour in the US as a Vietnam protest song. Both are great musicians but to me Burton Cummings is an incredibly gifted musician that has always been under rated. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert several times in his heyday. He not only makes the piano a cool instrument, but his showmanship and musical arrangement along with the way he uses his voice just becomes pure magic on stage. He along with Randy Bachman created a plethora of great music with their group The Guess Who. I unknowingly saw them as a child but remember they were really good. They opened for Sonny and Cher at the CNE in Toronto Canada, I think I was 8 or 10 yrs old, & I just remember the crowd was going crazy for them and the music was really rocking. I remember the young girls behind us calling Burton a "hunk" and I had no idea what they meant..lol. In the past 20 yrs the two of them have travelled around doing small festivals where I again had the pleasure of seeing them. They may be older but the talent is still there. There are a whole lot of great Canadian bands missing from this list that you may want to Google and have a listen to. Really like your videos. Cheers!

I'm not sure what the curator of this list got, but they should have got life.

This list is highly skewed. Seems like few 55+ boomers are on Spotify. What about the ‘60s through ‘80s? Generally, Canada punches above its weight in music.

It's criminal how short these clips were. There are some real classic songs and modern bangers in there, barely glossed over to make way for 15 Nickelback clips. Still, I appreciate your time and interest in our Canadian music!

Neil Young's father lived a few kilometers away from me (just outside of Omemee) and there were occasional "Neil sightings" until his dad passed away in 2005. Neil's song "Helpless" is about Omemee where he spent some time in his younger days. It was great to see The Band's "The Weight" amongst those songs as they were one of my favourite bands. Sadly guitarist Robbie Robertson passed away last Wednesday.

Neil Young, even though he’s lived in the US for years, did not become a citizen there until 2016, with the express purpose of voting against Trump.

I would like to point out that some of those artist are considered Canadian even if they didn't ever recorded in Canada. For example Steppenwolf are from the region of Toronto, but they moved to California before even changing their name to Steppenwolf. Also, if this ranking is based on Spotify, it's based on what is more popular world wide. A Canadian ranking would be different, for example, there would be a lot more Tragically Hip who are very popular, but mostly unknown outside. Also, there is not a single song in French. The French Canadian market is a lot smaller than the English one, but that doesn't mean that we can't do good music!

I maybe on my own, but over 30 years in Canada I've only seen the dancefloor rushed once when "New Orleans is Sinking" was played on Elgin St Ottawa in the 1990's. Not one mention here. Sad.

With the last original member of the band, Robbie Robertson, just passing away, I was so glad to see them up there. Watch the documentary "The Last Waltz" if you get a chance. Great music! Also glad to see Steppenwolf & of course, Neil Young (Ohio's one of my favourites)...a lot of good bands showcased but there could have been 100 separate bands and it would still be just scratching the surface.

No Trooper, Tragically Hip, Jann Arden, Our Lady Peace, Leonard Cohen(!!), Matt Good Band, Big Sugar, Streetheart, Toronto, The Guess Who, Blue Rodeo, Triumph, April Wine, Gordon Lightfoot, Nelly Furtado, KD Lang, Bruce Cockburn. You can tell it's made from spotify with all the Nickelback Sum41 and Avril Lavigne on it. The results would be very very different if it was made by Canadians instead of international.

Spotify's rankings reflect a generational taste in music, some rock, and a lot of grunge. a better reflection would be by straw vote. There are songs from musical groups not represented who are easily more popular and influential. Tragicallyhip of course, Bruce Cockburn, Collin James, April Wine, the list is long.

I feel like Great Big Sea should be somewhere on this list

RUSH !! RUSH !! RUSH !! Number 1 Always - Forever !!

Because this list was based on Spotify it's not a great list. Too many great bands were left out and some others were over represented. For the 1970's I'd check out bands like Trooper, Chilliwack, Michel Pagliaro. For the 1980's Aldo Nova, Honeymoon Suite, The Headpins. 1990's Our Lady Peace, Sloan, The Northern Pikes. All of these bands were great along with several other Canadian bands but they were the first ones to come to mind. Canada has a rich history of rock music. IMHO other than England and the US, Canada has produced the greatest rock songs and artists of any country.

Canada has some of the best rock acts in the world. Bryan Adams is huge here. He is an icon. Nickel back is amazing so many hits. Sum41 and Simple plan and Three days Grace are all amazing as well. Rush is one Canada’s treasures. I love them all. Glad you appreciate Canada so much.

Holy Crap a ton of bands off this list, Trooper, Streetheart, Toronto, Triumph, Prism, Doucette, Harlequin, Teenage head, Northern Pikes, Saga, Blue Rodeo, Goddo, Gowan, Rough Trade and there's a ton more.

This is definitely a Zoomer list. I don’t hate Nickelback or modern Canadian bands, but there are some brilliant Canadian rock bands and singers from the 60s to 90s. The fact that this is a modern list and Amanda Marshall isn’t represented is criminal. She did soul/rock. It seems like Rush was thrown in because whoever made the list didn’t want to look like a complete idiot. But Helix should be there for sure, along with Amanda Marshall, Tragically Hip, Guess Who, Glass Tiger, Honeymoon Suite, Steppenwolf, Colin James, Bryan Adams, BTO, Chilliwack and April Wine. If those bands aren’t featured, they’re not a credible list. I’d even put Alanis Morissette on the list.

I would have thought Blue Rodeo would have made the list, but many artists were skipped over.

Yes Mert - tapping into some Canadian music would be perfect! There are definitely a bunch of Canadian bands that weren't on that list that should be. Here are some requests: Glass Tiger - Animal Heart (Lead singer is Scottish-Canadian. Not a rock bank, but this is a great song.) Red Rider - Boy Inside the Man Chilliwack - Gone, Gone, Gone The Headpins - Just One More Time The Guess Who - American Woman Rush - Tom Sawyer April Wine - Roller Bachman Turner Overdrive - Takin' Care of Business Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi The Partland Brothers - Soul City Sass Jordan - Make You a Believer Haywire - Dance Desire Alannah Myles - Black Velvet Bryan Adams - Run to You Harlequin- Innocence Triumph - Magic Power Loverboy - Turn Me Loose Amanda Marshall - Let It Rain The Payolas (with Carole Pope) - Never Said I Loved You Honeymoon Suite - Feel It Again I could go on and on....

a lot of these are more recent songs, as we older canucks are not "spotify users". "The Band" had many more great hits (they were Bob Dylan's back up band, after he went electric) BTO -Bachman Turner Overdrive, was the after band of the "Guess Who" that went by "The Who" (until they were made to change it.) Joni Mitchell, April Wine, Triumph, The Tragically Hip, Jeff Healey, Max Webster/Kim Mitchell, Sweeny Todd, The Spoons, Teenage Head. The Sheep Dogs, Corey Hart, Colin James, The Trews, Sloan, and many many more, never made this list.

Robbie Robertson of The Band (Song #17 - The Weight) just passed away. Was great to see Alannah Myles on the list. Her song 'Black Velvet' was a tribute to Elvis Presley.

Surprised there was no Trooper, Prism, Streetheart etc… Many more Canadian bands that produced great music…. Add the Stampeders to the list also….

To set the record straight regarding the creation of the Guess Who's song American Woman. The band had returned from a tour of the USA and were playing in a Curling Rink in Ontario. They had cut the tour short as the band members were at risk of getting drafted into the Vietnam where as there US work permits exposed them to that possibility. Randy had broken a guitar string so the band took a break so he could change it. Burton went out to the parking lot to buy some records from one of the patrons. While tuning up his guitar, Randy fell upon the riff that became "American Woman". The bassist (Jim Kale) and the drummer (Gary Peterson) returned to the stage and started playing along to the riff. Burton heard the band playing and quickly finished what he was doing in the parking lot and got back to the stage and grabbed his mike. Randy told Burton to "sing something" and the first words that he came up with were "American Woman, stay away from me". As it turned out, someone in the audience had made a 'bootleg' recording of the concert. The found the kid and were able to get a copy of the tape to write down the ad-libbed lyrics that Burton had made up on the spot. In July 1970, they performed the song on the lawn of the White House because Richard Nixon's daughter Tricia was a fan of the Guess Who and she asked her dad to invite them.

Canadian Rock is some top tier stuff man! Rush was so far ahead of their time and it exploded from there

There is also April Wine, Blue Rodeo, Finger Eleven, Saga, Simple Plan, Triumph, Arkells, Honeymoon Suite, Helix, CrashTest Dummies, Colin James, and more.

This is based on number of Spotify plays, so that will be biased towards recent songs. There's a lot more Canadian bands and artists that are not that well known abroad and wouldn't show up on Spotify rankings.

Hey Mert, I love your videos. This one you found is very weird, that was about 1/10th of great musicians from top Canadian songs. Very skewed and not very comprehensive. The EVER in seems like '1990-2010'. Big Sugar, 54-40, Colin James, k.d. Lang, so many others and yah even Trooper.

You can tell this is worldwide Spotify plays, not just Canada. Because there was no songs by The Tragically Hip. I’m a bit surprised Blue Rodeo didn’t make the list. They were big outside of Canada.

I have a feeling that this Spotify list is based on international play. The list would be very different if you had data from Spotify generated based on Canadian play. For instance, this list had no Tragically Hip which virtually every Canadian would have at least a couple of their songs in the top 100.

So this is the top 100 songs based on the number of Spotify plays. Nobody should confuse that with a measure of greatness.

For sheer longevity and global notoriety, you can't beat Rush, Neil Young, and Bryan Adams, but quite frankly I'm very surprised that there weren't more songs by the Guess Who and Steppenwolf in the top 100. I suppose that could be because they were producing music many decades before Spotify came out and only had AM/FM radio and live concerts to rely on, to get their music to the masses.

Wow. This really opened my eyes to Nickelback. I had absolutely no idea that I hated so many of their songs. Lol

So many I could list here but one of my absolute favorites has to be Jeff Healy, he's more blue than rock and never really got the credit he deserved but if you get a chance definitely check out the live video performance of See the Light.

Not a rock band, even though he is in one, but you should definitely check out Nardwuar The Human Serviette. An interesting character to say the least, but he has information that surprises his guests. I mean he absolutely flabbergasts some of the people he interviews. He's got lots of videos to choose from, I recommend you try his first interview with Snoop. Possibly his interview with Pharrell Williams, he was genuinely moved by his questions. He has had Canadian guests to review also, like Neal Young and Nickle Back, or Seth Rogen. He even does interviews with politicians, and gets some dirt on them. I'm sure other people have great suggestions for their favourite guests.....

So, so many things make me proud to be Canadian. This list is not one of them.

This was only a taste of Canadian rock! There are so many bands and solo artists that are legendary. I am hoping to see something that would represent our amazing musical talent through the decades. Nickelback, Sum 41 Avril and so on are okay but there is so many more that make us proud.

You might be interested in reacting to ‘Tears Are Not Enough’ by Northern Lights. It was a Canadian supergroup that came together to raise awareness of famine in Ethiopia. Similar to ‘We Are The World’ in the US.

Yeah, I agree with a lot of others, this just seems to be a Spotify list of the Canadian bands with the most listens - but it does not account for radio play, album sales, etc. There are so many great bands/songs missing from this list. Bryan Adams is wonderful. His music inspires you to sing along.

Boomer here... K.... yur missing Trooper, Prism, Parachute club, Toronto[the band] Triumph, Santers, Teenage Head, The Irish Rovers, F.M. Max Webster, Saga, Dave Wilcox, Neily Furtato, Gordan Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Gino Vanelli, UZEB, Anvil, Killer Dwarfs, Stampeders, Chilliwack, the Box, AprilWine, Oscar Peterson, Guy Lombardo, Tommy Hunter , Anne Murray, Kallatu, Mahogani Rush, Great Big Sea, Big Sugar, Snow, July Black, Sheep Dogs, Northern Pikes,

The fact it doesn't have any Hip songs is super tragic and make this list invalid. Also theres a criminal lacking of Rush and Billy Talent songs. Where's the Arkells? Alexisonfire? Thornly? Big Wreck? Dallas Green? Triumph? I am missing so many great bands thats not Nickleback and Avril Lavigne. I agree full heartedly about Three Days Grace. Those guys are awesome.

Always enjoy your videos, very impressed you show such an interest to in our country. The fact that The late great Jeff Healy is not mentioned in this list is absolutely criminal, one of the best if not the best guitars players of all time and the guy has an Awsome voice, oh and buy the way he was completely blind when eye cancer took his sight at the age of two. If you want to see an incredible talent check out his video “see the light”, he will knock your socks off.

Ugh….made me feel old. Way too much nickleback, Lavigne not enough Rush. No Hip, Max Webster, Kim Mitchell, and other glaring omissions. The list is endless

Big fan of Billy Talent, they get a very good praise in Canada, but is super big in Germany. There's one band that didn't make it on this list that is very good and has been around since the 90s but it may not be considered "rock", Very cetic, it's known as Great Big Sea and they come from Newfoundland.

Rush and Bryan Adams top the list for me. Huge fan of Tom Cochrane as well, consider 'Lunatic Fringe' to be one of his best! So much great Canadian talent that I have enjoyed over the years. Not enough room in the comment section to list them all.

I'm probably a little older than most that watch your videos, so I'll say the punk rock movement in Canada during the 70s and into the 80s was probably one of the most spectacular times regarding live performance bands. I grew up with a couple of hippie parents who listen to everything from country, western to folk to rock, and certainly influenced me in keeping my mind open when it comes to music. Canada has a wonderful mixture of different styles of rock music and Canadians should take great pleasure, knowing that they have such great talent within their borders.

I've seen Three Days Grace many times. They are a Straight Edge band (meaning no drugs or alcohol). I got to hang out with them backstage and they are legit with that. Great bunch of guys. Their story about why they are Straight Edge is pretty wild. Awesome catalog of music as well. We Canadians know how to rock!

Rush=no.1 Wayyyy too much Nickelback and Avril Lavigne! That top 100 is totally ridiculous! 23 for Tom Sawyer??????

There we always be a difference between what the world hears with regards to Canadian music, and what we listen to. It's like the World comes over for some music and a drink. No problem here's some Nickleback and a Bud Lite. And when they leave you crank up some Hip or Takin' Care of Business and get out that good whiskey we save for ourselves.

I just finished watching this video as well as the top 150 video you did as well. I truly enjoyed your input, and understand many of the comments others have left below. I grew up in the same small town that Avril Lavigne did, and 20 minutes down the road is Kingston, the city where the Tragically Hip come from. A band with roots here that missed BOTH lists are the Headstones! Take the time to listen to some of their classics, like 3 Angels, Cemetary, or their astounding version of "Tweeter and the monkey man" and I think you will add this band to your own list. I was fortunate enough to have seen both them, and the Tragically Hip when they were starting out as bar bands. Keep up the good videos. I hope you take on the Australian bands in the future.

The playlist only shows a small snippet of the many great rock bands of Canada. My uncle was part of two rather popular one of 80's and is still touring with them, and regaining their popularity once more. Toronto and Honeymoon Suite. In fact Honeymoon Suite took their name from the city where they formed up, Niagara falls. Other great bands from Canada also include: Glass Tiger, Head Pins, Econoline Crush, Lee Aaron, April Wine, Trooper, Sloan, The Odds, The Headstones, and so many more to add.

Nickelback was super popular, this led to them being played and overplayed on Canadian radio (which is required by law to have a majority of Canadian content), this led to them being hated and people jumping onto the hate train.

As a rocker from the 60's until today as I write this comment, these artists are still on my playlist and always will be ~ Neil Young, Rush, The Band, The Guess Who, Steppenwolf, Bad Co (any band with Paul Rodgers) BTO, Bryan Adams, Alanis Morissette and Three Days Grace. Avril Levigne doesn't qualify and some of the others would qualify for my rock list. However, I did hear several bands that I have never heard of that I will be checking out to possibly add to my classic rock, hard rock, metal, grunge, alternative, playlists. I like other types of music but some of these people wouldn't make any of my lists. I'm anxious to check out some of the bands on the list that I am not familiar with. I pulled up a list on the internet and there are a ton of more current Canadian rock bands that I will be checking out, many of which are mentioned in the comments. I'll be busy, lol. Imho, if Neil Young made the list, Joni Mitchell should have made the list too. She was just as instrumental to the rock/folk rock movement as Neil Young was. And, Rush deserves way more glory as they are often named the best Canadian band ever.

I don’t think I’ve heard this version before. I feel like my soul was absorbed, cleansed and returned to me better than new lol

Completely forgot to mention Loreena McKennitt absolutely mad vocal skills on that woman.

I love and am proud so many Canadian singer/songwriters. This list was neat to see what the most played “rock” songs are, not sure I’d classify a lot of them as “rock”. If you didn’t know Corey Heart singer of “I wear my sunglasses at night”, also Canadian.

Have you heard of Burton Cummings? He was the lead singer for The Guess Who (American Woman). He went solo and had soooo many huge hits!! Check him out. Also, check out Trooper!!!

Just found you here and have loved watching YOU find us. Best Rockers of late? Tragically Hip!! Gord Downey was the lead singer ... BRILLIANT!! He passed away with a brain tumor. I like Nickleback and don't know whatever caused the turn on them. Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroger were married for a while. I also watched facts about Canada. Would love to answer all of your questions but I am 70 years old and have no memory, ;) I will keep watching your channel.

I love Bryan Adams, seen him in concert a few times and he has so many great songs! Adore Loverboy-worth looking into-they had a few hits on the list and I think you would like them. Also love Nickelback. I know you hear all the crap about them but the fact is they have a ton of really fun songs and are great in concert. I’ve seen them a couple of times and they always put on a great show. I’m from their hometown which is where they always wrap up their tours so they are always drinking on the stage and sharing a few drinks with the crowd and usually play an extra long show. And it’s just a really good time. And they always sell out so lots of people seem to agree with me. Alan is and Avril are both great too.

A lot of Albertans are VERY proud of Nickleback (from Hanna, ab), also Loverboy (from Calgary,ab) Gordie Johnson from Big Sugar is from my home town of Medicine Hat, ab. I am just a huge fan of all of our Canadian musicians....they just rock!

Can't go wrong with some Our Lady Peace and Barenaked Ladies, two decent Canadian rock bands but if you want to go a bit more classic rock from the 60's-70's there's BTO Bachmann Turner Overdrive, The Guess Who, and Trooper to name a few.

Any band that has hits from the 70s that still get played has to be amazing! Hats off to BTO & The Guess Who. Honourable mentions Steppenwolf, April Wine (esp The Whole World’s Going Crazy). Other older bands- The Stampeders (Sweet City Woman), Lighthouse (Sunny Days).

the Bachman Brothers, Freddie Turner, Chad Allen (BTO and the Guess Who) and Neil Young (Buffalo Springfield and CSN&Y) all graduated from St John's High School 1968

RUSH - Tom Sawyer is my prediction for #1

Tragically Hip were so great. Tom Cochrane is one of my favs and throws a great concert❤

Doug and the Slugs should get an honourable mention

Niel Young is actually from a small town of Omemee 15 mins outside of my hometown of Peterborough Ontario. Alannah Myles is my buddies Aunt.

How about Jeff Healey? All the music from the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze.

As a Canadian, I’m so shocked how many great bands were left out. No Tragically Hip, Matt Good, Big Wreck, Sloan, Big Sugar, etc… this just doesn’t do justice to Canadian Rock in my opinion. Glad to see Billy Talent and Three days grace get some recognition tho! 🤘🤘🤘

How the hell was there not one single Tragically Hip song on the entire list? Mindblowing!!!!!

Some notable omissions from this that you should definitely check out (with #1 Song): 1. LEN (Steal My Sunshine) 2. Jeff Healey (While My Guitar Gently Weeps) 3. Our Lady Peace (Superman's Dead) 4. Sloan (Money City Maniacs) 5. Matt Mays (Cocaine Cowgirl) 6. Kim Mitchell (Go for a Soda)

The song with Adams, Sting, Rod Stewart should NOT have been on that list as two of the three are NOT Canadian. Plus it left off amazing Canadian acts like Trooper, Powder Blues, Spirit Of The West, Burton Cummings, The Trews, The Headpins, Toronto, Chilliwack, Streetheart, The Stampeders, Tragically Hip, April Wine, Bruce Cockburn, Gordon Lightfoot, Sweeney Todd, Nick Gilder, Dan Hill, Downchild Blues Band, Grapes Of Wrath, Sarah Mclachlan. And those are just the ones off the top of my head that I know had hits in Canada. Then there were artists that didn't chart but were a big influence like Skinny Puppy, DOA, The Villains, Young Canadians. Not rock but also bands like Martha & The Muffins, Rough Trade, Men Without Hats, Images In Vogue along with Justin Bieber, Drake, Shania Twain, Anne Murray, Michael Buble... Just thought of a few more...Gino Vannelli, Frozen Ghost, The Tenants, Union, Randy Bachman, Tal Bachman, Nelly Furtado, Sheriff, Blue Rodeo, Kim Mitchell, Max Webster...

I’m so sad... Those clips are way too short to get a true glimpse of the magic of some of these Canadian music icons ❤️🇨🇦

Missed so many people, like April Wine, a great 70s band

April Wine, Monster Truck, Prism,Kim Mitchell, Triumph. The list is massive.

My wife and I saw both Nickelback and Bryan Adams. Nickelback was a great show loved it start to finish. Bryan Adams was incredible and when he came out for the encore with just his guitar and harmonica he showed what a truly incredible performer he is.

I wonder if this was Canadian Spotify numbers or Spotify as a whole. I would have expected Tragically Hip to be on the list if it was Canadian numbers, but maybe it’s a generational thing.

Canada has some pretty stellar music for sure! One artist I've loved for years is Jann Arden. She's amazing and absolutely hilarious as well. Her and Rick Mercer have often teamed up and their duo always makes me laugh. I highly recommend her!

I would love to see a reaction video to Rush. They have SO many good songs, but the world is pretty divided on whether they love them or hate them lol I personally am a massive fan, but would be cool to see what you thought. :)

This is why you can't trust Spotify or modern algorithms for a true taste of any list. This is almost NB's entire catalogue but a classic band like Trooper will get every Canadian singing every word of Raise A Little Hell or Boys in the Bright White Sports Car. SLOAN would be my pick for best band not on this list. Money City Maniacs or Underwhelmed are amazing rock songs.

This is a truly bizarre, Spotify-based list with the likes of Nickleback being way over represented and there are many far better bands who were more popular in Canada before Spotify every appeared on the scene. The fact that the likes of the Tragically Hip don't have a single song on the list shows that this video is something of a joke. Some bands or musicians that should have been represented on a list not dominated by the choices of foreigners and people born since the turn of the century would, in no particular order, include: Triumph Sloan Chilliwack Great Big Sea Blue Rodeo April Wine Rough Trade The Headpins Joni Mitchell Sarah MacLachlan Nelly Furtado Bruce Cockburn Chantal Kreviazuk Gino Vanelli Lighthouse Payola$ Prism Ian Thomas Stampeders Max Webster / Kim Mitchell Trooper Colin James Amanda Marshall

My personal favourite - Jeff Healey! This video could have had more Barenaked Ladies and The Band, and while I love Brian Adams I wouldn't have chosen him for 1st - guess his songs get the most requests from spotifyers. Either not on the list or I missed them are a few others: Sheryl Crow, Sum 41, Nelly Fertado, Joni Mitchell, Jully Black, Japandroids, Carly Rae Jepson, Jann Arden, Kiesza, JJ Wilde, Terra Lightfoot, Softcult, April Wine, Loverboy, and Buffy Sainte Marie. Rollingstone magazine recently did an article on the 50 greatest Canadian Artists of all time and their second paragraph is a remarkable tribute to Canadian artists!

This seems like a list of Canadian artists that American users of Spotify know about. There are other bands like Triumph, April Wine, A Foot In Cold Water, Mahogany Rush, Max Webster, Voivod, Chilliwack, Lighthouse,etc. Notice how you said that the Tragically Hip were the biggest selling Canadian artists, but the U.S. didn't know about them, so they didn't make this list. Then there are people like Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, and Gordon Lightfoot who are a little more folky.

No. These are not the top 100 Canadian rock songs ever. Not even close. Whomever made this list needs an education in Canadian rock.

Seen Bryan Adams in Concert 7 times, first time in 1986 last time in 2022. He still can Rock!

Love Nickelback...me and a mate saw them in concert down in Melbourne Australia and they were fantastic. 😊

So many missing Greats on this! Corey Hart, The Stampeders, Chilliwack, Great Big Sea, Glass Tiger, Burton Cummings (solo albums), and the list goes on and on.... I think all the clap back for Nickleback was 100% envy. They had so many fantastic songs and did so well internationally that people just had to hate them.
